Follow the steps Dave outlined to me, and it will work. It might take some time, but be patient. it will get you there. the faq at the revenbrook link report fixes for the major errors i've gotten trying to connect to ZMySQL. ciao! greg.
I got this a while back - here are my notes:
NOTE: The first time I got a problem relating to umcompress: ImportError: ./_mysqlmodule.so: undefined symbol: uncompress
You may need to add -lz to you Setup.in file per this: http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/import/2000-08-09/python-mysqldb-0.2 .2/MySQLdb-0.2.2/doc/MySQLdb-FAQ-1.html
Then I moved MySQLdb.py* to /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages and I was able to run python and import _mysql
After that, I copied the _mysqlmodule.so module up to the ZMySQLDA directory restarted Zope and was able to create a connection.
Good luck
